ALEX GABRIEL BERNSTEIN

Innovative, cast and carved glass sculptures often draw inspiration from nature. The son of two prominent NC glass artists, Bernstein grew up surrounded by creative people. As an adult, he discovered a process of fusing steel to glass. His work is held in many collections, including those of the Corning Museum of Glass, Glasmuseum Frauenau in Germany, the Burchfield-Penney Art Center in Buffalo, Rochester Institute of Technology, Mellon Financial Corporation, Wachovia Corporation and the Bascom Fine Art Center.
